Waiting for You by Lea Coll



Waiting for You by Lea Coll is now live!


\

ABOUT THE BOOK


How can Ava resist her best friend's brother when she's crushed on him since childhood?

I didn't think Alex could get any hotter, but his time at med school was good to him.

Dirty blond hair. A bit of scruff across his chiseled jawline. And a body beneath those scrubs that makes me think all sorts of naughty things.

Alex seems to be utter perfection... and he barely notices I exist.

Or so I thought. Lately, everywhere I look he's there. Renting a room in my bed and breakfast. Devouring my pastries. Wanting to talk every morning over coffee. Is it possible my lifelong crush finally sees me as more than his little sister's best friend?

Waiting for You is the newest addition to the Annapolis Harbor Series and is the story about Alex and Ava. They have known each other their whole lives because his sister, Savannah. She is best friends with Ava. The story begins as Alex comes home to Annapolis, MD to work for several weeks in the hospital whole working on his residency. He will go back at that point to NYC where he went to school and finish his residency there to be a doctor.

This is part of the series as Ava is Juliana's sister, in the previous book (Crazy for You) Juliana got together with Nolan when he helped her with construction on her B&B and Ava her sister was going to run it. The book opens up at Nolan and J's wedding and they hired Alex to play some music at the reception since he is back in town. throughout the book we get to see some scenes with J and N and J's two twin daughters which was kinda fun. 

While Alex is in town he decides to live at the B&B and so he gets lots of time to get to know adult Ava and her him. This is a forbidden romance as Savannah has never wanted her bestie to have a crush or feelings for her annoying older brother. So when these two decide to explore a friendship and maybe more its done in secret.

I enjoyed this story a lot. It has hot doctor Alex and Ava who has always crushed on him. They start out as friends but things get romantic as time goes by. But because Ava is so close to his parents and sister, its a forbidden romance. Added to the fact that Alex will be leaving in a few weeks.

This story is low on drama and moves at a slower pace than other books in the series. But I really enjoyed getting to know Ava and Alex and his sister Savannah who will be featured in the next book in the series. 



Wildcat by Rebecca Jenshak

ABOUT THE BOOK

Wildcat by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!

I met my dream girl.

That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen.

I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned.

I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.

When it’s time for me to head on my annual pre-season boys trip, I barely let her go.

It’s been a week and I can’t stop thinking about her.

Except there she is. Right here at the Wildcat’s kickoff party.

And as luck would have it, my dream girl is the coach’s youngest daughter.

But everyone knows the coach’s daughter is off limits. Right?

Wildcat is a full-length sports romance with a hot-as-puck hero, the coach’s daughter, and an unfortunate case of mistaken identity.

The Wildcats are the youngest team in the NHL. On the ice, they’re cocky, determined, and ready to take the league by storm. Off the ice? They’re always up for a wild time.

I really loved this book. In my eyes it was a really great father/daughter story. Scarlett and Leo meet and have a great one night and then he kind of ghosts her a little. 

Why? Well because he is on an NHL hockey team and he is so busy and attending training weeks and life just gets in the way of him contacting her. That is until they meet again.... when her father hosts a party and I guess you can say that's where he gets a second chance with her but her relationship with his coach makes it tricky.

Leo is an awesome guy and his coach knows that. And so while you might think forbidden its not really that kind of story. I mentioned the father/daughter angle because Scarlett is home from Europe and has left her jock ex there. He hid their relationship so she is not a fan of being a secret. But she is a college drop out who wants to do something with photography. She ends up helping her dad out at work and so this is more about a second chance romance between an NFL player and the coaches daughter/assistant of the team. 

It was an awesome story about fathers and daughters. I loved coaches and Scarlett's midnight cereal times. I also loved how they both love and respect each other and I also loved Leo's relationship with the coach. 

This story was wonderful, it was heart warming and I loved the father/daughter times in the story. Scarlett and Leo really grow up a lot in this story and I felt this was very much a coming of age story.

Game Changer by Stacey Lynn

ABOUT THE BOOK

Game Changer by Stacey Lynn is now live!

Falling for your best friend is one thing, accidentally getting knocked up by him is another...

Hockey hottie Garrett Dubiak has been my best friend since college and the one constant in my life the past seven years. Through distance, career changes, and other relationships, we've always found our way back to each other.

Including one wild weekend this winter, when he finally told me he wanted more... wanted everything from me.

Too afraid to admit I felt the same, I told him I needed time.

Twelve weeks later, here I am, pregnant with his baby, alone, and terrified.

He's my best friend. He deserves to know the truth.

So I swallow my fear, my pride, and I shoot my shot. I just hope he's still willing to have me--and our baby.

 This was an awesome story, its got a sports angle as well as best friends who fall for each other and a surprise pregnancy.

It starts off in Chicago when Lizzie has to tell her college friend Garrett who now lives and plays Hockey in Las Vegas that their one night stand from several months before has made her pregnant.She thinks he has found new love again with his teammates sister and so it was something hard for her to tell him.

She agrees to come visit him in Vegas so they can make decisions on how they both want their future to look. Will Lizzie love Vegas? Is Garrett still into Lizzie? And what are they having?

This was a really fun story. It had some great moments and I laughed a few times. It was also sweet and hot all at the same time. I really loved it and cannot wait for more in the series.


Shelter by Kristen Proby

ABOUT THE BOOK

Shelter by Kristen Proby is now live!

A small town, close proximity romance from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby.

Remi Carter has survived her fifteen minutes of fame and is putting LA in her rearview mirror. As a former reality show contestant, she's trading staged expeditions and faked wilderness tours for real adventures. Only one fluke storm in Glacier National Park has her stranded with a handsome man, and adventure takes on a whole new meaning.

Seth King is as rugged and sexy as he is annoyed to be trapped with Remi. Probably because she ghosted him at the local bar not three days ago. But she's got her reasons for ditching him, and twenty-four hours in an abandoned Montana cabin with the wildlife biologist isn't nearly enough time to explain. As tempting as he is by firelight, she's been burned too many times.

Except one day together and suddenly her travel van doesn't hold as much appeal. The open road feels lonely. Remi's about to learn that shelter is more than a safe place to weather a storm.
Shelter might just be the man himself. If he can give her a reason to stay.

 This was such an awesome story and I loved seing Seth again and this time all grown up. MY heart kinda broke a few times for him as we also see what happened to him while he was living with his mom but I also adored how he is with his siblings and how much they love him.

Many years ago I discovered the With Me Seattle Series by this author after I ran out of books I decided to read the authors other books and thats when I read the  Loving Cara book and then followed that with Falling for Jillian. I would suggest you read those two books before this one so you know all the characters and Seth's history. However this book is also a stand alone so you can easily read this story without reading those earlier stories.

In Loving Cara, the young Seth gets dropped off at his Uncle Josh's ranch by his father ex wife. His father, Zach is in the Army and gets called home when Josh is dropped off and comes home to take care of Seth.  Jillian ends up in love with Zach and Seth and they marry and have more siblings for Seth.

In this story Seth is grown up, single and helps out at the ranch where he also lives and is a park ranger. He goes to a bar one night and meets a new girl in town, Remi. She teels him she plans to hike the next day and he warns her about snow but she goes anyway and ends up caught in a snowstorm. And Seth ends up rescuing her and helping her. And so starts their romance.

I really loved this story. Remi and Seth were really awesome together and I loved how well matched they were for each other. I adored watching how Seth is with his family and getting to know his siblings and I loved seeing Cara, Ty, Lauren and Jillian again. 

The author has said this is the end of the series and I have loved this series so much. So I am absolutely going to miss it so much.

My Best Friend by Taylor K. Scott




ABOUT THE BOOK

A friends-to-lovers romantic comedy!

Persephone

Life is a box of chocolates!

Well, if so, mine have gone thoroughly stale. In fact, they went on the turn over a decade ago, on the night I gave my virginity and my heart to my best friend, Henry Morgan. The very next day, the boy took everything with him to Hollywood, where he is living it up as one of the world’s most celebrated Oscar-winning actors.

I should have ditched that box ages ago.

But I can’t.

Not while Henry still sits in there, even if only from a distance.

Henry

If life is a box of chocolates, then mine has been an awesome collection! I’ve transformed from the nerd targeted by bullies to an Oscar-winner.

There’s just one problem - my best friend, Persephone Hill.

At seven years old, the girl saved my life by sharing a comic and a handshake. Ever since I’ve been hopelessly devoted to her.

Back when we were closer than close, I was too afraid to tell her how I really felt. So, friendship is where I’ve stayed.

Yes, life has been a box of chocolates, only the best flavour has been missing.

But that’s about to change. I’m finally going to claim Persephone as mine.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

You'd think, being a writer, I would find this an easy feat, but talking about myself always leaves me a little stumped. So, I beg for your forgiveness when I attempt to give you a little bit of waffle about me. I'm a mother, wife, and primary school teacher, who has found a passion for reading and writing. It's become so addictive I no longer watch TV, instead, I get lost in alternative realities and frequently lie awake in the middle of the night with random ideas for what to put my characters through next. Music is often my muse, but I also love to include real life experiences in my books. I want people to be able to relate to my characters and to know that they're not the only ones to go through certain difficulties, anxieties, or embarrassing situations. I like to think my stories are different from one another, some being romantic comedies while others are full of suspense. Hopefully, you’ll agree and will enjoy getting lost inside of my head for a while. My serving suggestion is to indulge with a side dish of something sweet, something comfy, and where possible, a golden retriever to curl up next to.


AUTHOR LINKS





 This is a new author for me and its not the kind of book I enjoy. Its filled with angyst and more angyst and even more angyst. Just when I had my fill of angyst it had even more and while I enjoy a little angyst, not this much. Every time I had my fill the story added even more. 

It has a very British feel to the story. Half the book takes place in Britain. In the current time as we get to know the female lead to this story, Sephy, she currently lives in Britain. The author does a great job taking us back into the past as Henry and Sephy grew up together in Britain and through their teenage years and to what went wrong with these two.

While I did not love this story because of the angyst, I adored Sephy. I seriously adored her. She is strong and she makes some tough decisions and I absolutely adored her. She does have some self image issues and I also loved that about her because she is not perfect and while her self image is slightly off, she also knows she is worth more than she is given and she knows she deserves better. And when she doesn't get it, well she dumps them and I adored her strength and character.

Henry is the male lead and he grew up in Britain and left to go to Hollywood and he lives there now and is a big movie star there but he also loves his best friend, Sephy and through the years he has managed to stay in contact with her and while they live in different continents and time zones they are still close. 

Henry is the biggest jerk in this story and I kinda hated him for a majority of this story. I also hated his supposed friend Amber. And I hated the way Henry is with Amber.

I hate love triangles and this book should have a warning that it has a big love triangle, it might even have more than one. So if you do love angyst and triangles then you might love this story but its not the kind of story I enjoy.

It is well written and its plotted very well and as I said I LOVED Sephy. But its just not the kind of story I enjoy, its a bit too drama filled for me to enjoy.

Tall, Dark, and Bossy by AM Hargrove

    
  AVAILABLE NOW!!! FREE IN KU!!!


  Universal: Universal: https://readerlinks.com/l/2210343  

  


  
ABOUT THE BOOK

Tall Dark and Bossy The first time I met sexy Stanton Baines, I nearly swallowed my tongue. But that was before he opened his mouth and directed his insolent comments at me. Not one to back down from a clash, I fired right back. From then on, Stanton pursued me with a vengeance. 

The first thing I learned was he discarded women like gum wrappers. Second, the control freak thought he could dominate me. That billionaire might be the boss of everybody else, but he was never going to be my bosshole. Nor was I going to be one of his crumpled-up gum wrappers. My heart had been trampled on enough. Mr. Baines would not be adding his shoeprints to it. Except he didn’t give up. 

The more I sassed, the more he chased. After he had me wrapped around his pinkie, he left … as in poofed right out of the country without so much as a farewell. I figured we were over. Boy was I ever wrong. I had completely underestimated the man and that alphahole was about to bring me to my knees ... unless I did it to him first. 

Tall, Dark, and Bossy is the first novel in the Baines Family Series. It is a complete stand-alone with a happily ever after.    

   

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, USA Today bestselling author, A. M. Hargrove realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So she made a quick decision to quit her job and reinvented herself as a Naughty and Nice Romance Author. 

Reader, Writer, #WalterThePuppy Owner, Dark Chocolate Lover, Ice Cream Worshipper, Vodka Aficionado, Coffee Drinker, she believes coffee and ice cream should be added as part of the USDA food groups.

 If you loved For the Love of English and For the Love of Easton, then you will adore this story as its the third book in the series though it also easily stands alone. In Easton's book we have met Stanton, as he is Tristian's brother who was injured in a car accident that took his fathers life. Stacy is English's best friend and is also a character we met in that story.

In this story Stacy has a boyfriend when she meets Stanton until her boyfriend acts very badly and Stanton helps her out. 

Stanton is a bit of a playboy but when he meets Stacy he wants her very badly. But when things with the ex go badly he is there for her and a friendship that turns into love for these two.

But Stanton is as the book title says is very bossy and Stacy is a strong independent woman and so these two fall hard for each other but they also have to learn to communicate as bossy is something that Stacy can't accept.

This book was super fun and I loved every second of it. I also loved seeing the characters from both English and Easton's books and how they are there for Stacy.

Same Ol' Situation - Burgers and Brew Crüe #3 - by Lacey Black






ABOUT THE BOOK
Isaac

I’m about as straight-laced and by the book as they come. They call me Numbers, the man in the office of Burgers and Brew, the restaurant and bar I co-own with my friends. Routine and spreadsheets, that’s how I spend my day. I’m a creature of habit, from the designer clothes to the same girlfriend, I crave the pattern I’ve become dependent on.

Until said girlfriend breaks up with me for the umpteenth time, and I find refuge in a woman who is my exact opposite.

I’m intrigued and completely out of my element, yet that doesn’t stop me from spending time with her. Even if I consider her off-limits, something about her calls to me.

The problem is I just might lose a friend because of it.

BJ

Most of the time, I would never look twice at Isaac Thompson. He’s all suits, ties, and expensive dress shoes, and I’m…well, not. My time is spent at the tattoo studio I work at, day and night, designing badass ink for clients who want the best. I have no room in my life for a relationship, nor do I care for the messes they always create.

Until Isaac finds me stranded on the road, and I end up inviting him inside.

Now, I can’t stop thinking about him. He’s so different from any man I’ve ever known, which is why we decide to keep it casual and fun.

Let’s just hope I can keep feelings out of the arrangement, so I don’t get burned.

This is book 3 in the series but it easily stands alone. Its a brothers best friend and opposites attract romance with Isaac and BJ.

BJ is Jamieson's little sister. Their parents died and J pretty much raised BJ. Now she is all grown up, helps out at the restaurant and is a tattoo artist. She has always crushed a little on Isaac but he is very serious and into serious relationships and has just been dumped on a very important night. 

BJ is not into serious and Isaac decides to give not serious a shot. And so they have some very steamy nights as they try to keep it from her brother. 

This was a HOT story and I enjoyed it. I liked the other books in the series more, but this was a fun and hot romance too. It had a little angyst and some drama with the ex in it. I would have liked a bit more time after the ex before Isaac moves on but otherwise I enjoyed it.

 I really loved BJ a lot. She was this really strong woman who knows who and what she wants and she goes after that. I really loved her and her best friend and Jax.
